The identification of the sanctuary is based on a group of twenty-six fragments of shallow grinding bowls, which carry votive inscriptions to Apollo. Apollo's cult goes back to the the late 7th century BC, because of some other finds from the wider area of the sanctuary. Among these finds, a great number of South Ionian cups is included and it confirms that Miletos had a close assosiation with the Apollo's cult in the area.
